Designer drugs, also termed as “legal drugs”(1) have evolved its availability to evade legal resolution. Earlier young users were the primary users but now with the changing trends these are consumed by a large part of the society(2). They are the drugs with psychotropic effects which can easily be synthesized with other raw material to obtain synthetic compounds(3). This research was done to analyses of theses designer drugs (piperazine was analyzed) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-infrared deviation. In this analysis it was observed that these techniques provided the confirmatory data for the structural differentiation of the components and provided specific confirmation of each of the isomeric form of the derivative of the designer drug(isomeric piperazine) respectively(4).
